A few days ago when I was using /sub I only saw the magazines that I subscribed to. This seems like the intended behavior. But now I see threads from all kinds of magazines plus the ones subscribed under /sub. How can I hide the magazines I am not subscribed to from the subscribed threads view?
Is this a bug? Am I doing something wrong?
At first I believed it was because I followed some people and they used the boost feature or something. But this is not the case.
In my subscription feed the top threads are from nostupidquestions@lemmy.world, fediverse@lemmy.world, games@lemmy.world, piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com, kbinMeta, casualconversation@lemmy.world, apolloapp@reddthat.com […]
fediverse@lemmy.world and kbinMeta are the only two of these that I have subscribed.
Solution: I had somehow subscribed to the DOMAIN kbin.social by mistake. I didn’t even know this was possible. This took a long time figuring out because domain subscriptions can only be seen from the settings page, not from the public facing profile page.
That makes sense now. Glad you figured it out. The question is how you did that to begin with, mainly for reference to avoid others from doing it, unless they want that. But it sort of nullifies the idea of subscriptions. At least if I or other readers of this see someone ever pop up with a similar problem we know where to point them to look.
Fully agreed, and thanks for taking the time to respond to my post. I don’t remember how I did it. I think I wanted to subscribe to the magazin kbin and ended up subscribing to the whole domain, too (the timing fits).
While the mistake is certainly on my part, from a usability point of view it would have helped if the two separate subscription lists profile>subscriptions (some features) and settings>subscriptions (all features) would be consolidated into one single list.
